mouse wheel 4..9.x

[David]

Where are the settings for the mouse wheel and how do I change them? My
mouse does the opposite of what I expect when I roll the wheel. Inverted
mouse.

This is up-to-date Rawhide Xfce.

Have you tried XFCE menu >> Settings >> Mouse then unchecking "Reverse
scroll direction" under the Device tab?

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Thank you and yes. Changed and then log-out and log-in with no change in
behavior. Same setting change and reboot did not change this behavior
either.

This is a Live-Cd/Dvd install of an Xfce 'snapshot' from
<http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ > from a long
time ago. It was when I updated to 4.9.x that I encountered the 'inverse
mouse' situation.

If you can find the config file, maybe hand editing is an option. To
find the right file maybe this will help.

$ grep -i -e mouse -r ~/.config/xfce4/

That does indeed find and display the name of the file. Editing

<property name="ReverseScrolling" type="bool"
value="false"/>

from "true" to "false" followed with a log-out and log-in does change
the setting.

Checking the box in the GUI in the 'Settings" window has no effect.

Thank you both for the suggestions.

Glad I was of some help. :)

Hmm... I should never answer email before the second cup of coffee.

That was supposed to read 'thank you for both suggestions'.

Thanks again. I have another problem for a new thread.
